I wasn't debating MIDI versus OSC. I specifically noted that MIDI
compatibility is a "must" requirement. I merely pointed out that OSC
provides a potentially superior transport for GMPI on the network and that
it could result in a competitive advantage in studio setups.

Well, no nothing's broken. I can happily Jam on my VST Plugins all day. 
The *vast* majority of musicians using VST or AU have no complaints.

I see the advantage of GMPI being a huge simplification of the plugin 
development process.  The commercial benefits:
-less market fragmentation (all plugins run in most hosts)
-more plugins
-cheaper/better plugins (more developer hours devoted to innovation, 
less to compatibilty/porting).

To be honest, GMPI's advantages lie in the long term.  I'm not surprised 
  commercial companies see no immediate advantage.


P.S. Regarding MIDI/OSC...Don't start debating this again.  For better 
or worse the requirements are complete.  It's taken long enough. 
Re-debating them will only kill the process, let's move on to the next step.

Jeff
